EVERYTHING SET
Well, folks, the die is cast and
this Saturday night on the
KUHS hardwood, two top bas
ketball teams
will take the?
floor to do their
bit for the cur
rent "March of
Dimes" infantile
paralysis fund.
Temporary
bleachers will
be erected on
the sides of the
floor to accom
modate the over
flow and we
want you to
know that everv
effort has been bent to provide
you with some first-class athletic
entertainment.
This is not just another bas
ketball game, however. Every
ticket that is sold and every
dollar that is taken in will
help enable some youngster
stricken with infantile paraly
sis to regain his or her health
and lead a normal, useful, hap
py life.
In selling tickets, folks, we
can't reach you all personally
as much as we would like to.
We take this means to tell you
WHERE you can obtain tick
ets. Go to either Dick Read
er's, Hibbs' Clothing company,
Klamath Billiards, Matt Finni
gan's, or The Herald and
News, and you will be prompt
ly accommodated. - -
These firms have graciously
offered to assist us in disposing
ot as many ducats as possible, so
the next time you're downtown,
drop in at one of these places
and pick up your tickets to the
game. ., . ...
We realize we haven't given
you much time, but you still
have the remainder of today,
. Friday and Saturday to pur
chase your pasteboards. If
you want to see a great ball
game and helD swell the in
fantile paralysis fund at the
same time, buy those tickets
right now. Don't wait!

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan.
25 (P) The railbirds looked to
blond Craig Wood today as the
golfer most likely to capture the
$5000 Texas Open should favor
ite Byron Nelson falter.
Nelson, of course, is top man
in the forecasts as a field of 140
prepares to tee off tomorrow in
the first 18 holes of the tourna
ment but Wood is playing well,
likes the greens at Brackenridge
course and is rated an excellent
chance of taking his first cham
pionship here.
Others placed high in pre-tour-nament
calculations include Sam
Byrd, Harold (Jug) McSpaden
and Toney Penna. Defending
Champion Johnny Revolta, who
picked up at Tucson last week
end, was considered too far off
his game to be figured a top
chance. "' '- w
Wood, duration National Open
champion, had a 69 two under
par in a practice round yester
day to lead tune-up play.
"Brackenridge course Is one
that requires great accuracy and
that's why Penna is highly-rated
for first money, said 1 red Cor
coran, PGA tournament mail'
ager, ...
- But despite the fact that there
has been a steady bombardment
since Tuesday, when the pros
traveling the winter tournament
trail arrived, no score nas come
within hailing distance of a 64
turned in by Nelson in his first
tune-up round.
Corcoran predicted the winner
of the open would have to shoot
272 for the 72 holes but Nelson
figured a 275 could capture first
money since the course is wet
from recent rains.
More than 225- players moved
out today in the pro-amateur
event, forerunner of the open,
with each pro pairing with two
amateurs in the contest for $225
in war bonds.
FINISH TRAINING

ANN ARBOR Ray Fisher,
Michigan baseball coach and for

picks Christy Matncwson as the
greatest hurler of all time. Big
